Both the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) cite the lack of data on development indicators for indigenous peoples as a major hindrance to both their empowerment and poverty reduction. This paper helps address this knowledge gap by developing and implementing a methodology for estimating several key development indicators related to progress under the Millennium Development Goals for indigenous peoples around the world. This presentation highlights the findings for the education MDGs, with a focus on Africa.
